Penny Black Saturday #187 - CASE it

Hello everyone, I'm running late again today with the latest Penny Black Saturday Challenge ... not because the card wasn't made this time, but because I forgot to take it to work yesterday to photograph in daylight, and it was dark by the time I got home ...doh!

Anyhoo, here I am at last with this week's challenge. It is the first week of the month so it's time for our new regular monthly feature, which is to CASE a card chosen by a member of the DT. This month it's the lovely Debby, to this week's challenge is to

CASE the following card by Debby

Now Debby always makes a fabby card and this one is no exception .... will you be influenced by the puddy cat, idea of flying through the air, colours, grass and sky?? Can't wait to see what you create.

This week we have two fabby prizes as well for randomly drawn winners ...

Firstly from Penny  Black

This adorable teddy stamp - 4079K Teddy's Party

Secondly from The Ribbon Girl

This yummy green mini ribbon kit.

So what are you waiting for? Don't forget to be eligible for either prize you need to submit a new piece of work featuring a Penny Black image, large sentiment or stickeroo as its main focus.

As always the rest of the DT have made some stunning interpretations - here's mine.

I decided to go with the idea of grass and sky, but I wanted to play with the gingham papers in my new Me To You "Spring Chic" pad ... so I used the aqua and green, and also tied in the pink for the flowers  and butterfly :-). I also liked the idea of a cute creature in flight, and found this darling image which was sent to me forever ago by my dear bud Samantha. I also fancied a fence but alas I ain't got any dies like that (yet!!) so I  settled for a garden trellis ;-)

Last but not least I had to get a cloud in and so decided to sit one on top of my gingham sky ... I don't have any cloud dies (once again - yet!! ;-)) so I tried something new - I hand drew one and cut it out - eek!  I was going to use a pink bow too, but alas my narrow pink ribbon which I had already stuck across the card just wouldn't behave itself!!
